The PERFECT OEM APX Holster Finally!!!!

[Aaron_B]

After spending about a thousand dollars on more apx holsters than I can count both OEM Motorola and after market, I never found one that both fit well and would let me charge the radio without taking the holster off. Well, years of searching have finally paid off and I have been able to locate what may well possibly be the world's best APX holster. It's very solid feeling, Lets you charge the radio with it on, fits BOTH the XE and NON XE APX radios, and its even an OEM Motorola part all AVAILABLE FOR $35 MSRP!!!!! Why haven't I heard of this sooner? Well apparently Motorola in creating the perfect holster forgot to tell anyone about it and I had to dig through some very obscure websites and make way to many phone calls to get a part number let alone get an image of it.

Well no more, hopefully, I can no put an end to the obscurity of this magical holster and bring it out of the cave its been hiding in. PART NUMBER PMLN7732A images attached below!!!!!

The amount of people who have asked me for a better APX holster is staggering and I have never been able to get them a good answer until now.

I like it, they look cool.

Slight pet peeve of mine, the speaker faces towards you. So you have audio playing towards your body instead of out, and the display and keypad are susceptible to damage.

I think the non XE model is a little damaged

The holster actually has some buffer over the speaker so that it isn't pressed directly against the user, this prevents muffling of the audio and gives the speaker "breathing room".

As for the keypad and screen being exposed to the elements, true, this basically turns the APX radio into more of an XTS style form factor. This, however, is a sacrifice I'm willing to make since I use the display and keypad so much. The APX also has a much more durable housing than the XTS and they are relatively cheap and easy to replace should one get damaged.

Also yes, my non XE has seen better days haha

Or, it was only available in Australia market until this week and just was added to the new North America Motorola shopping site on Monday for $27. https://shop.motorolasolutions.com/accessory-kituniversal-carry-holster/product/PMLN7732A There was a funny guy selling them on ebay a few months ago for $60 each!

 

[exkalibur]

Yep, it's been available on Motorola Australia for quite awhile. Price was $50 AUS.

From what I can see it has actually been available in North America through MOL for quite some time (months if not years). It just seems that nobody in North America knew about the part number since it isn't listed on any of the big e-commerce websites (shopwiscomm, radioparts, magnumelectronics) and apparently just recently became available on Monday at https://shop.motorolasolutions.com/accessory-kituniversal-carry-holster/product/PMLN7732A. Hopefully now some more of the bigger e-commerce people will list this so that people can stop price gouging on fleebay.

Thank you VERY much!! I've been hunting for this clip for months. I just ordered 2

 

[mikegilbert]

Freakin' awesome! Gonna order some thru MoL asap.

Also, LOVE that waterjet cut housing on the APX. Was that the one from IWCE a few years back?

I assure you it has not been available in NA.

If anyone is interested, Ken Bryant could get this for us at a lower price than MOL. His email address is email@kenbryant.net . I've been using his for many years as my MOL dealer. Great guy!

I heard that he is a great dealer. If you can get an exact price for one that would be great.

Another vote for Ken Bryant. He is a great guy and he has a lot of experience that he's happy to share.

What is the black piece going between the volume knob on both of the radios

 

[Aaron_B]

-mikegilbert Very cool and yes Motorola likes to give out their "custom" radios every once in a while.

-ResQguy Interesting I wouldn't be surprised if Motorola didn't release this APX holster into the biggest APX market until recently but I could have sworn I saw this part number on North America MOL before. I just didn't order the item due to the fact that I didn't know what it was.

-N4CYA That is the elastic that is a part of the holster. This piece helps apply tension to the hoster so it doesn't wiggle around.

 

[Forts]

Just placed my order. $39 thru Canadian MOL.

 

[mikewazowski]

Mine is apparently on the truck for delivery. Getting kind of late in the day though.

 

[W4TF]

Mine on the way too, ordered 2 from Ken Bryant

 

[GTR8000]

$22.50 on MOL, not bad. Looks like you have to remove the battery in order to get this on/off, unless you're using a slim battery that it would slide right over. Not that you'd necessarily need to take it off since you can charge the radio with it on.

Thank you for letting me know. Ordered mine through Ken

Got mine today in the mail and like it! Thank you Aaron for posting your review on this holster.
